The OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) is the industry standard defining baseline security and privacy requirements for mobile apps. It serves as a metric, guidance, and procurement baseline, complementing the MASWE and MASTG projects.
Use cases
- verify mobile app security against an industry standard
- audit an android or ios app for security requirements
- define security requirements during mobile app procurement
- guide secure mobile app development and testing
- prepare for a mobile penetration test
When to choose
- you need a recognized baseline for mobile app security verification
- you are auditing or pen-testing android/ios apps
- you want standard security requirements for mobile procurement
When to avoid
- you need a scanning tool rather than a written standard
- you need web or desktop application security standards (use ASVS instead)
